This third part of Psalm 37 continues to show us that God understands our situation, blesses His people, and judges the wicked. Remember, this psalm by David is written in a Hebrew acrostic with each verse beginning with a Hebrew letter--this helps us to remember what David has written.

In verses 21-31 we're reminded of what our Father does for us.

21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back,
but the righteous is generous and gives;
22 for those blessed by the Lord[c] shall inherit the land,
but those cursed by him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
when he delights in his way;
24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,
for the Lord upholds his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
or his children begging for bread.
26 He is ever lending generously,
and his children become a blessing.

27 Turn away from evil and do good;
so shall you dwell forever.
28 For the Lord loves justice;
he will not forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land
and dwell upon it forever.

30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
his steps do not slip.

Psalm 37:21-31 ESV

In these ten verses David tells us that in all of his life he has never seen the righteous forsaken. Dear shepherd leader, let us remember this beautiful reward for the righteous, the beautiful blessing that He gives His people. May we be encouraged to follow Him in everything we do and every decision we make. May this encourage us to live deeply into our calling.
